Dear Friends,
This is a medical news release which has been provided to us
for publication concerning Elena the woman who was burned over 80% of her
body. Missionary Kevin Jones is working with her at this time as part of
his good ministry to Siberia.
Dr. Phil Organ, a doctor who recently made contact with ORH,
was one of the people who received the plea for guidance published by ORH on
Wednesday, March 25, 2014. He is a wound care doctor, and has contacted
sources which can help Elena, if she can be helped.
Below is an approved update by Dr. Organ and the company
that has the ability to help. Please read this and pray for God’s will to
be done.
”News Release:
Thirty-six year old KEP was admitted to a Siberia,
Russia, Resuscitation Department on July 7, 2-14 with burns covering 80% of her
body. Currently, her burn wounds have healed leaving 20% still
open. They are infected and not responding well to antibiotics. Her
condition is grave and stable.
Operation Renewed Hope has reached out for help.
Dr. Philip Organ, a former program and medical director of a local wound center
in Naples, Florida has suggested several strategies. He is on the
advisory board of a company currently investigating a novel therapy intended
for use in infected skin and soft tissue wounds and burns that is seeking
regulatory approval in the US and Europe. He is working with the
company’s management to secure compassionate use in Russia.
Organogenesis, a US company that produces a laboratory
grown human skin substitute has been asked to support the effort with their
skin substitute. A number of local home care nursing companies are being
solicited for dressing supplies. Dr. Organ hopes to bring these
technologies to Siberia in an effort to assist in the care of the
patient. Operation Renewed Hope, a major sponsor of medical missions, is
the primary organizational and logistical support organization.”
Our God is so great that He can put these things in
motion. Pray for Elena that her body will continue to respond to the
current antibiotic. Pray that we can get the “novel therapy” to Elena in
time. Pray that the companies who are producing the needed “skin
substitute” will be able to help. Pray for Dr. Organ that he will be able
to orchestrate this effort for God’s glory.
I am always amazed as I watch God work through all of his
marvelously trained people. We also want to thank Dr. Elizabeth Drum for
her efforts to check on a traveling surgical team.
God bless all who are praying.
